Barack Obama Visits Jersusalem

Posted on July 24, 2008

Barack Obama visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem early this morning. He seemed to be having a bit of trouble placing a prayer he had written in the wall, but eventually succeeded. A rabbi read a psalm calling for peace in the holy city. Some worshippers chanted "Obama, Obama" but others yelled "Obama, Jerusalem is not for sale" and "Jerusalem is our land".

Today he speaks to a very large crown at the Victory Column in Berlin's central Tiergarten park. That location has been controversial because Hitler moved the column to its present location to celebrate German nationalism and the country's victory over other countries.
